Pete Maravich orchestrates a fast break sequence, faking a behind-the-back pass so effectively that Lakers defenders react to the phantom move. His creative handles create space for the finger roll highlight. The LSU legend, with floppy socks and brown hair, moves downcourt with exceptional skill, each dribble part of an offensive display. His 3,667 college points, scored without a three-point line, remain among the game's most impressive records with a 44.2-points per game average. Pistol Pete's influence continues in every creative pass and difficult shot, an important predecessor to players like Steve Nash and Stephen Curry. The Pennsylvania guard, developed by his father Press, inspires those who see basketball as equal parts competition and creativity. In this game, Maravich impressed with 19 points, six rebounds, and six assists. · Dec 13, 1971
